  Speaker 2: our journey with Greg today.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Okay. Okay. Welcome back to Cuff's Basement. I am your co-host, Tim.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I'm with my co-host, Ryan.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Hey, everyone.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: And we have a special guest again. He's still here.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: The one and only. Craig, the French-Canadian, O'Coin.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, guys.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Buckle your shoes, guys. Buckle your shoes.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Buckle your fucking shoes. Billboard smash. Billboard smash.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I have to concede. I'm sorry.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: And we are back with Craig to cover a couple
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: topics that we've already covered that need to be continued
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: because we did a wonderful pod two years ago. Can
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you believe that? It was two years ago? It was.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I can tell you the date. But we did a
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Pixar One year ago. Was it?
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Almost to the day.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Was it one year ago? Is that true? I thought
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it was two years ago. Wait, I can tell you
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: right now. It was September 19, 2025. So Craig's 100% correct.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I thought it was two years ago.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Don't you make this show?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I make and don't make. I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: had sea ice and Yukon Jack. But we are here
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to continue because there's been some updates with the Pixar
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: S tier list. Now, Craig and I are both fathers.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: That's correct.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: And we have children that live in our home. Ryan
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: is not a father, but he has children held against
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: his will in his home. Against their will, sorry, in
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: his home.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, kind of.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: That's actually kind of true. Yeah. And we watch a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: lot of Pixar films. So there have been two updates
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to the S tier list that I wanted to discuss. Um,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: but before I do that, I want to recap what
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: exactly we talked about last time. So for those that
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: aren't familiar, an S tier list is based off of
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: video game grading where, um, well, I'll just, I'm going
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to read what we did for our S tier list.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: What, what are you two giggling about? Just the, Tab
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: that says number 11, Greece.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Greece.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: The amount of old things you'll find of Tim's notes
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: from podcasts from five years ago. Why everything is wrong
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: with Return of the Jedi.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: It's like a museum.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I love it. Again, it's always worse when you clean it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, thank you. This was me cleaning it, by the way.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: That's how bad it was.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: This is perfect to me. I love it. I'm not
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: kidding you.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So we were ranking the Pixar movies, and it went
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: as follows. So F means this movie is awful. I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: hate this movie. This never should have been made. There
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: was one F, and it was, Ryan?
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Cars 3?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Cars 2.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Cars 2, okay.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Cars 2. The grading of D is, I didn't like this.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You know, I did not like this movie. I thought
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it was not good. But it's not one of the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: worst movies ever. There's only one D, and that was Elemental.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Then C is, this is good. This is fine. This
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: is good. It is not bad. But it's not special.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: We had a bunch of Cs. We had C for Cars, Brave,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Monsters University, Finding Dory, Cars 3, Turning Red, The Incredibles 2,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and Lightyear.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: So Cars 3 is better than Cars 2? Oh, yes.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: 100%.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Cars 2 is terrible.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Way better.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I have to see Cars 2 now.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: You've seen Cars 3?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I've not seen anything beyond Cars 1. And it's called
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Cars 1, by the way. It's not just Cars.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So Cars 3 is like the spiritual sequel to Cars.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And it's about... It's sort of like Lightning is now...
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Instead of the young hotshot, he's like the older guy.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: And there's a bunch of young hotshots that are trying
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to overtake him. Cars 2 is a spy thriller involving Mater.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Larry the Cable.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: The pickup truck.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Let that sink in, yep.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Larry the Cable guy.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: That got greenlit.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: He's the main character. And Cars 2 is a spy
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: thriller where Michael Caine is the James Bond car. And
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: it's sort of like, what's that Peter Sellers movie, Being There?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Is that what it's called?
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Where it's like, Larry the Cable Guy doesn't know he's
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: become a spy, but he has. Like, everybody thinks he's
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: a spy, and what he's saying makes him sound like
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a spy, but he doesn't realize he is. And then
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Michael Caine is a real spy that's working with him.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: That's what the plot of the movie is.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: This came out. Yes. Great. Like the Justice League regular
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: theatrical cut, I can't wait to watch this now.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Cars 2 is a slog. Slog.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: It's the one they decided to make two and a
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: half hours.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: And a big complaint I had is Michael Caine's car
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: basically has Spider-Man web shooters. So he Spider-Mans around the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: whole movie. I'm not kidding. This is real. It's not webs.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: It's grappling hooks. But he Spider-Mans around the whole movie.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Alright, here I go.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Pretty much?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Seriously.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I can't wait.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: So, yes, Cars 3 is way better than Cars 2.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Then we have B, which is, this movie is good.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: This is a good movie. Solid. B is B for
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Bugs Life, Monsters, Inc., Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo, The
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Good Dinosaur, Onward, Soul, Luca, and Elio. Have you seen Elio?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: After the plot, I watched Luca and Elio.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, and did you like them? Of course you watched
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the ones about little boys.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: You already made this joke.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And did you like them?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I thought Luca was great.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I liked Elio.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, so Luca's probably the Pixar movie I have seen
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the most.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Because Cece went through like a six-month phase where every
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: day after school and every Saturday morning she'd be like,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: put Luca on. And we would just watch it. We
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: went to Nantucket with CeCe in the hotel room. We
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: watched Luca back to back. I think we might have
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: watched it back to back to back. So I do
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: love Luca, even after seeing it that many times. Then
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: we had A, which is this movie is excellent. This
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: is a fantastic movie.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Amazing.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: A's were Toy Story 1, The Incredibles 1, Ratatouille 1,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Up 1, Inside Out 1, Coco 1, because aren't they
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: actually making a sequel to Coco?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, they are.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Toy Story 4, and Inside Out 2.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Ratatouille 2 would be a pinch-me sequel. Like, Kingdom of
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the Crystal Skull. Like, I can't believe I'm sitting in
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: this theater. Like, I'd be so beyond excited to see this.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: And then S is, this movie is a masterpiece. This
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: is hands down one of the greatest animated films of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: all time. That's what S means. And we only had
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: two S's. And it was, Ryan, do you remember?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: They are Toy Story 3.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: And they are also WALL-E.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: WALL-E.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Craig and I had Up as S tier, and Ryan
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: ruined it by having it in A.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Up is excellent. Those other two are just different.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So there's been two movies that have come out since.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: And Ryan did not watch one of them for the podcast,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: even though it was only... You only had to watch...
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: four movies this week. So many.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: As you mentioned, I have more time than you guys
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: do on my hands, but I would have not been
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: able to give it the attention it deserves.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Well, the thing about the Pixar movies is, like, I
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: wanted to watch them for this pod, and I watched
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: them with Cece. So that, like, makes it easier for me,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: because that's the reason I can't watch movies, because I'm
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: with Cece all the time. We couldn't watch Ready or
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Not 2 with Cece, but.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: So we watched the first film, which came out in
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: what year, Craig?
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: I had these all as 2026. Oh, they're both from
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: this year, right?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: But Hoppers came out first.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Hoppers definitely came out first. And I thought it was
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: late 25, but it says 26.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Was it March or April?
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Sounds right.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: It was called Hoppers. And I loved listening because I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: listened to our first pod and we thought it was
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: like a Kevin Spacey Bugs Life spinoff.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: That was my fault. Disney just Pushes all the chips
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: across the table.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Now, I thought it made no money. It would cost
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: $ 150 million. It made $ 400 million.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: It was a very big hit.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I didn't know Hoppers was a
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: big hit.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Good hit for Pixar.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a good hit.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Good hit, but I think very big for like considering.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Because Pixar we talked about this last time too they
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: do like a one for you one for me they're
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: like okay we want to make an original movie because
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: that's what we always do and then Disney's going to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: force us to make a sequel to one of our
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: prior IPs and we'll do that.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Too plus a big thing with a lot of movies
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: but including Pixar is the China market is kind of
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: gone why? I think politically but like it was such
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: a huge factor in a lot of movies making money
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: To the point where they would have, like.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. They were doing that all the time.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Like, putting scenes with, like, Chinese actors in for, like,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the Chinese version of it.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: So... But that... I don't know. That market's kind of vanished. Yeah.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know the... I didn't know the market was vanished.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I'm curious as to why. The most, like... Oh, wow.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: This is, like, heavily Chinese-influenced movie I think I ever
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: saw was The Meg.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Because The Meg had, like, with... That's the shark movie
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: with Jason Statham.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Like the female lead was a Chinese actress I had
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: never heard of. And there was like a bunch of
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Chinese characters. But yeah, this is starring Piper Kurta, who's
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the main character. I have no idea who that is.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Not much.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Bobby Moynihan.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: John Hamm.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Love.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Kathy Najimy from King of the Hill.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Love.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Dave Franco. I don't really know. Isaiah Whitlock Jr.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Ego Nuotum.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Meryl Streep?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Meryl Streep, yes. Meryl Streep. She has a very small role.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Vanessa Bayer, who I love. Heidi Klum? Oh, she's in
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the German dub of the film. I was like, what? But, yeah. Craig,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: what is this movie about?
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: So, this movie is about our lead character, Mabel. She's
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: trying to save.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: The Glade, I almost called it the pond.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Which is just an area in nature where the animals
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: are congregating. The mayor, Mayor Jerry, wants to build a highway.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Mayor Jerry is Jon Hamm. He's the villain. Kind of
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the villain. Yep.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: He wants to build a highway, and Mabel's trying to
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: save nature, and Jerry wants to build a highway, and
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: we kind of go from there. I don't want to
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: give away too many spoilers here, because in case Ryan
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: wants to actually... Do his homework later.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: You can spoil it.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: I will still watch it.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: One joke about this movie that I loved. So the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: plot of the movie is everything Craig said. But these
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: scientists have figured out a way for you to hop
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: into a robotic animal. So you can put this headset
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: on and then your brain will be transported inside of
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a robotic beaver. So in the movie they actually say, oh,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: so this is Avatar. And then the scientists are like, no,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: it's not like Avatar at all. But the joke is
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: it's completely like that.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: But the animals are not real.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: The animals are robots.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: And so the scientists are hopping into the robot beavers
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to try to live amongst the beavers and study them.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: But then Mabel, who's a very radical left-wing environmentalist, is like,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I'm going to hop to get the animals to protect
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the glade and also rebel against the humans.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: So, Craig, I will let you go first. What did
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: you think of this movie? What did you like and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: not like? And what would you give it on the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Esther list?
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: So, a lot of things I liked about this movie.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: My kids like this one. We watch it a lot.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: We talked about the movie that you just watched over
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: and over again, Luca. And the kids at one point
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: watched this over and over again. I did like the...
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: the storyline. It was different than some of the other
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Pixar movies. The animation was a little bit different. The story,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: to me, I felt like it was a little bit different.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: I love this concept of the mayor, Jerry, you think
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: is the villain. Mabel is the protagonist. And you find
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: out they're actually the same person. They're both trying to
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: do what they think is right. And they are willing
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: to do whatever they need to do because they think
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: they're right. And so they're like, hey, the ends justify
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: the means.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Loved all the animal interactions.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: I could not get over that this was Moynihan doing Jerry.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: I don't understand where that voice came in from. No,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Bobby Moynihan was George.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: George, sorry.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Beaver King.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know where this voice comes from, but I
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: absolutely loved it. I loved all the animal interactions. And, yeah,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, Pixar does such a good job because it's
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: like you have this kind of mabel crazy chaotic storyline
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: and every now and then they kind of just calm
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: everything down for 30 seconds and like life is how
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: it should be like when there's one point where she
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: gets the animals back to the glade and everything's calm
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: and quiet and like ah like we've won next thing
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: you know jerry's coming in with bulldozers trying to take
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: care of everything um i don't know how far you
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: want to get into the the story because i know
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: we're trying to go.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: No, you can get into the story. I mean, I
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: don't want to go, like, beat for beat, but if you.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Want to talk about it more.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: No, I mean, I think the themes that I wrote
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: down here, right, is the big theme here is Pixar fashion, right?
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Very kind of family-oriented, you know, rainbows picture, you know, here.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: But it's like, you can't do it alone, which is
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: obviously true. You can't do it alone. And so, like,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: that's Jerry's tagline. Like, we're all in this together. And
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: you realize, like, Mabel realizes, like, hey, I'm... just being
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: selfish here a little bit. I'm using people. I'm using
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: my new animal friends. I'm lying to them. I'm doing
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: whatever I need to because I think I'm right. And
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Jerry's like, hey, we're all in this together. Let's help
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: out each other. And you realize, hey, Jerry... I keep
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: saying Jerry.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: George.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: George is right. He needs to.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: George is the beaver. The leader of the beavers.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: The beaver king.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: So.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: The Beaver King is like, all right, let's take back
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: the Glade. And Jerry comes back. They take it over temporarily.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Jerry comes back with the bulldozers. You find out that
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: George is the Mammal King. And then you realize that
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: there is a council. And so you have an Insect King,
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: a Bird King.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: The Insect King is Meryl Streep.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Yep. Like an amphibian king, you know, snake king.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: But these are real animals in this.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: These are all real animals.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Ego Novotum is the fish queen.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, fish queen.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Meryl Streep is the insect queen. Then there's a snake.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Whitlock Jr. is the bird king. There's reptile queens
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: are like a bunch of people. But anyways.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: And so as they convene this council, Mabel again is like,
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: doing this big pitch of like, we got to take
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: back the glade. And so the council's like, you're right.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Let's kill the human.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: And then she's like, whoa, whoa, too far, too far. Um,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: and so, um, great, great scene where they call the
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: apex predator in to try to take out the human.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Um, they, they, they say just like, they just say
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: in passing, we're going to get an apex predator to
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: take out Jerry. Jerry's John Hamm.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: He's the mayor of the town. He's trying to bulldoze
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: their area. Yeah. And then Jerry's like, it's like minutes later,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: you kind of forget about it. And then Jerry's driving.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, like out of the water,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: a bunch of birds are carrying this enormous great white shark.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, fuck. And that whole sequence is great.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: So my favorite sequence in the movie is, so they're like,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: we have to save Jerry's life. So Mabel's a beaver,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: a robot beaver. But then all the real beavers are like,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: we'll help you. We'll save Jerry's life. So they break
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: into Jerry's car. And George, who's the beaver king, is
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: saying like, I will just explain to Jerry. And he goes, Jerry,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give you some of my beaver oils.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: They have healing properties. And I'm going to rub them
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: on your face. And you need to understand that we're
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: just trying to help you. And then it cuts to
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Jerry's perspective. Because George is a beaver trying to talk
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: to him. Jerry's perspective is this dead-eyed beaver with this
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: goo on his hands is going, like in his face.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: And I laughed so hard during that scene. And then
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Mabel goes like, Get his phone, get his phone. We
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: can talk with emojis, because you guys can't read English,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: but you can see what emojis are. So just hit
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the emoji you want to convey to him. So then
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: George takes Jerry's phone, and Siri is reading the emojis
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: out loud. And George just keeps going, chop wood logs,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: chop wood logs, chop wood logs, chop. And she was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I thought it was really, really funny. That's one of
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the reasons I love it. I will say, I didn't
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: think it felt like a Pixar movie. Like, if I
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: saw this cold and you said, is this a Pixar
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: movie or, like, DreamWorks? I would say, oh, no, this
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: isn't a Pixar movie. It kind of was, like, anime-inspired
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: a little bit, the style, the animation, I think. Like,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: how hard they emote, you know, like in anime, like
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: they emote really hard. And also, it just was, like,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: really dark at the beginning and, like, really dark at times,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: talking about death and... That's kind of their thing.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: They kind of do that.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they kind of do. They kind of do. But
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: in like a almost like black humor kind of way.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Like George is like, yeah, like this is the, you know,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: this is the duck. He lives there. This is the bear.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: He may eat you. And then Mabel's like, what? Yeah, no,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: that just kind of happens in nature. Like sometimes we
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: just die because bears eat us and there's nothing we
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: can do about it. Like they're making jokes like that.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: If you got to eat, you got to eat. That's
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: what he says, right?
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Circle of life.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Circle of life. Um, so yeah, I, I, it was, I,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I liked it. I was along for the ride. I
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: thought it was very funny. Craig, what would be your
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: letter grade?
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: So looking at our list, I feel, um, a little
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: bit more confident in my, my selection here. I, I
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: would give this, I'm leaning B. I would go closer
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: to C than A. A. It's not on the A list.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: It's a good movie. It's a good watch. I think
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: it's similar to like Luca and Elio and some of
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: the other ones on there. It's in that group for me.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I agree with Craig. I gave it a B. It's
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: on the B slot for the S tier Pixar list.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: Now There's a scene at the end. I wanted to
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: call this out because I wrote this down. The doctors
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: who created the hopping program, they get shut down. And
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: they're like, well, what are you going to do next?
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: She goes, oh, I got lots of ideas. And they
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: show a classroom chalkboard. And she's got all these ideas
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: written on them. And I paused and wrote them down.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Idea number eight was build a self-cleaning, trash-cleaning robot, which
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: is WALL-E.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Idea number 92 is a robot cat, which you see
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: in the movie Lightyear. Idea number 113, right in the middle,
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: it's like invent a talking dog collar, which you see
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: from Up.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Yep. Sounds like Prometheus from Pixar.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Idea number 52, can we insert a brain into a car?
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Which I'm like, okay, that's cars. Yeah. Idea number 12
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: was another cleaning robot. It's Moe from Wall-E. It's a
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: small guy.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: Number 43, can we harness energy through vocalization, which is
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: like a Monsters reference. And then idea number 206, which
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: is training dogs how to fly planes, which is also
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: from Up.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: And so I'm like, oh, so, like, you know, here's the, like,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: the whole Pixar universe is coming apparently from this one scientist.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I'm so curious to think, like, to like how things
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: will go where you were saying Moynihan, like you couldn't
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: believe it was him because he's doing a voice. I
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: have noticed more and more in animated movies that they're
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: casting actors to not just be themselves. Like it's a
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: big thing where we talked about it, I think it
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: was 2023 or 2022, best of that year. There was
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: a Miyazaki movie called The Boy and the Heron that
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: came to the u.s and they what typically happens with
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: miyazaki is they get like gigantic ala stars to voice
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the characters and they just don't do voices they just
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: play themselves but there's a character who's the heron who
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: looks like danny devito and he turns into this very
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: hideous bird and it's voiced by robert pattinson and people
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: did not believe it was pattinson so they had to
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: like put out videos of pattinson doing the voice because
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: he sounds like this old snake And I just really
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: like that people are going back to not just being
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: a celebrity voice, actually doing voice. This is really cool.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I actually didn't realize it was the first time I
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: watched this because I had no idea who the cast was.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize that Jerry was Jon Hamm. And then
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: when I watched it the second time around, I was like, oh,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: you can tell his voice. But it doesn't sound like
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: him because he's so extreme and exaggerated and flying off
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the handle where Hamm doesn't usually play characters like that.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: I knew it was someone. I couldn't place it. But
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: then as soon as I saw who it was, I said, oh, yeah,
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: that makes sense.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: But what is it similar with, like, Hanks where, like,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Hanks is so famous for being Woody. Like, so famous
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: for being Woody. But, like, he always jokes when people, like,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: when he is spotted in public. Parents are like, he's Woody.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: And he's like, I always think Woody is just my voice.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, hi. Yeah. And the kids are like, what?
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: And he goes, I realize I have to be panicked.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, oh, hi. And they're like, oh, they
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: get it. That kind of thing.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's Woody.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Well, speaking of Woody, Ryan, that's why you make the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: big bucks in the podcast business.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: That's true, yep.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: There was a little-known movie that came out after Hoppers
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: called Story of Toys the Fifth. Yep. And that came
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: out this summer, right?
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Yep, I was 20, 26. Yeah, I don't remember the month,
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: but recent.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Ryan, you saw it.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I did, yeah.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: You saw it in the theater?
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I saw it in the theater and then I watched
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: it yesterday.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Watched it in the theater, watched it today. Nice.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, Craig wins. Because there's a lot of hilarious... I
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: gotta pre-order the 4K.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I gotta one-up this.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I thought there's a lot of hilarious coincidences with the podcast.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Mostly people dying, but... Like, when we did the.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Recently, pretty sadly, honestly, yeah.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: When we did the Dark Knight series, it just happened
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: to be the exact time that the Odyssey came out,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and it was completely not planned. So we were talking about, like, oh,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: we can't re-watch Toy Story 5, but, like, whatever, it's fine.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: And then, like, yesterday, they put it on Disney +,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and I thought... For once a positive. Of course, of course.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Ryan, what are your thoughts on Toy Story 5?
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: I thought it was great. I liked it a lot.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: My initial response.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Letter grade?
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Letter grade, B. B. Yeah.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: You give it a B.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Very, very good. One thing I don't think we talk
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: about a lot, but just as time goes on, I'm
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: sure it's the same case with hoppers.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: B for bullseye? Yes.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: B for buzz. Perfect.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, so I can't, this is a total, sorry to
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: interrupt you, Ryan. Here it is. Big mistake by my
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: part on the podcast was I had said I give
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Finding Dory a D, and I didn't say D for Dory.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I listened to it today, and I thought, Tim, you idiot. Craig,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: will you get me a... Are the zombie ices cold?
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Getting there.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Okay. Can you grab me a Miller High Life?
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is cold enough.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Cold enough. What percentage is this?
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: 96.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: 8.5.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Okay. Thank you. Nope. I want to compliment them on this.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: I don't think they get enough credit for this. The
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: animation itself is just unreal. How good they are now
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: with this. It's just so, like, photo real, even though
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: it's animated. Like, the yards and, like, the farm in
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: this movie.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Incredible.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Incredible. They could never do this, you know, back in
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the day.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, so good.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Craig, you were kind of grimacing when Ryan just gave
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: it a B, so I'm assuming you're going to give
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: it a lower grade.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: That is correct.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: What do you give it?
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: I got some problems. Listen, there's a lot of good
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: things about this movie, but I got some problems about
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: this movie.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Well, okay.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: I want to get into it a little bit.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, absolutely. That's what we're here for, man.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: So, where do I start? Number one, the big theme
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: of this movie is tech. It's taking over.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: And it's ruining playtime, and toys are great at making friends,
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: and they're better, and tech sucks. I know they kind
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: of wrap it up and say tech's not always that bad.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: But I'm going, this is a freaking ripoff of Ron's
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: Gone Wrong, which is also another Disney movie, which is
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: that central theme.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: What?
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Have you not seen Ron Has Gone Wrong?
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Ron Has Gone Wrong?
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Ron's Gone Wrong?
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: No. Oh, you need to watch this. I've never heard
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: of this.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: No.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: It's not a Pixar, it's a Disney. It's freaking fantastic.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Ron's Gone Wrong?
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's phenomenal.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: What if this episode ended? And then the next episode
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: was just called Ron's Gone Wrong.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: This is 2021. Okay.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: It is worth a watch. My kids love this movie.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: So do I. I mean, the theme of that movie
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: is technology and it's like corrupting kids. And it's not healthy.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: And it's not good. And we should be prioritizing relationships
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: and actually engaging with people. And it's kind of the
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: theme of Toy Story 5 here.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Okay. So, I mean.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: Ryan is losing it. I mean, you can't make an
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: original movie.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: This is like when I referenced Wishmaster, and then what
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: was the other movie I referenced recently where you were like...
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: The photo.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: I was like, this is the bad thing? Go ahead.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: No, I'm sorry. Ron's gone wrong. We'll make you cry
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: at the end.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to see it.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: I'm not watching it out. But here's my real problem
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: with this movie.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: I'll ask you guys. I'll premise this. People who didn't
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: like Toy Story 4, the reason they didn't like Toy
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Story 4 was because Woody left.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I would say because they're stupid, but also because
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Woody left.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, and also Toy Story 3 was amazing. How
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: do you top that?
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: It was such a huge dunk, yeah.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: So I wrote this note, I watched it again today,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: and I go 15 minutes in and I'm not happy.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: Woody's already back.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: I agree with that. That's a great point.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: But wait, so when Woody left, he can never see
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: them again?
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: It's not that he can't see them again, but it's like,
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Woody is, is gone, carved his own path. Like that
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: was his sunset. You want to bring Woody back. I'm
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: all for it, but can we not, can we make
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: him not a hundred percent in this movie?
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Well, sorry, Ryan, go ahead, please.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: No, I just also didn't like that. Like it was
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: like Jesse's panic button.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Two. That's why I just, I agree with that. Yeah.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: So I completely disagree with this take. I think that, uh,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: and here's why. So what do you left? He doesn't, he's,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: it's not that he's never going to see them ever again. Um,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: he's really not in this, like, I couldn't believe how
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: little Woody is in this, like, because every Toy Story
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: movie thus far, Woody is the main character, and in
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: this movie, Jesse is the main character. Also, the movie
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: addresses that, and it's specifically about how, like, you know,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: when Jesse panics, her, like, panic button is call Woody, because, like,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: we're used to Woody, and You know, you, like, you just,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: in a moment of desperation, you grapple onto something you're, like,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: familiar and comfortable with. But, like, Woody steps back in,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: and then there's, like, the whole conflict with Buzz, as
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Buzz is like, I'm the deputy. Like, I am Jesse's deputy.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: You left. So stop trying to, like, take over my
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: new role, because you chose to abandon it, and I'm
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: the you now and Woody eventually like begrudgingly accepts that
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: so I disagree with your take sure that's your opinion
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe how little Woody and Buzz are both
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: in this like Buzz is in it more.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Well there's more Buzz's too I.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Actually love the army of buzzes.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was really cool.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: And then, so, this was... Do you know what? Do
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: you speak Spanish? Pekinia. I don't know what star is
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: in Spanish.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Estrella? No?
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Estrella? Okay, let's say it's Estrella. I've never taken Spanish. So,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: we're watching Toy Story 5 on Disney +. It's over.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not paying attention because me and Cece are playing
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: with magnet tiles. And the movie just starts again. So the, like,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: and I didn't think anything of it. So it starts
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: again and it's all the buzzes on the beach at
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the very beginning of the movie. And I look in
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the sky and then Buzz goes, Austria, commando. And I
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: went like, wait, what? And it had played the Spanish
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: version when the English version was done. And I was
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: confused because remember Spanish Buzz?
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, is it Spanish Buzz in
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: this scene?
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: But it's not. I wonder how many languages it would
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: have gone through.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Only one way to find out. Let's go upstairs.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Legend.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: But continue correct.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Well, one, I'm shocked the phone lines aren't lighting up
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: with people trying to correct you. I mean, alright, so
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: those were my kind of issues. I mean, overall, I
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: thought this was a good movie, but it is not
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: in the same ballpark as the prior four. But there
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: are a lot of things I do like, and I
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: do want to get to them. I.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: They... again, cause they strum the same strings, if you will,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: a lot with these movies.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Which is fine. But Jesse's story in part two is
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: just an absolute, the definition before up of the gut
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: punch of the century. And that's such a high, high
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: that it's like to now vary on that.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: No, I, so such an awful thing.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Not at all. Um, The one thing they could have
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: done really wrong with this movie, which I'm glad they
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: didn't do, was when the old folks are putting in
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: the directions and I was like, please don't have this
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: be Jesse's owner's house. That was my concern. And have
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: them still be there and do like a reunion thing.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: That would have been such a mistake.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Yes. And they're not there. It is Jesse's owner's house,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: but they're not there.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: The new family. What I loved about this though is this.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: One thing we forget. You truly never know how old
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: the toys are. Because Woody's Roundup is like this old
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: 50s black and white show.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: The movies from the 90s. You're like, these are like
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: 100 year old toys. You're like, how old is Jessie's owner?
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Obviously you see her age in part two. I think
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: she gets like the 60s or 70s or maybe 80s.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: And that's it. But like, you truly just see such
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: a huge gap in time that it can't be her owner. But,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: That was just my concern, that it would be a
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: reunion thing, which luckily it wasn't.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Before we discuss the movie further, Craig, you said that
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: you have a grade that's lower than a B, so
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: are you giving this a C? A J for Jesse.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: C means this is fine, this is good and fine,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: and D means I did not like this. Are you
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: giving it a C or a D? Because you said
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: it was lower than a B.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: It is lower than a B. I'm going to give
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: it an overall letter grade of a C. If I
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: were grading on a Pixar scale, I would give it
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: a D.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I would give this movie an A. I loved this movie.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I thought it was... You said it wasn't in the
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: ballpark as the other Toy Story movies. I completely disagree.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I thought this continues to be the greatest franchise of
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: all time. I still think 2 is my least favorite one.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: It does continue to be the greatest franchise. I agree
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: with that.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: There's no franchise that has 5 movies that are all.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: Consistently this good.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: No. Over this amount of time.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: And I think that I totally disagree with your take
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: about how, like, oh, we're going back to, like, the
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: rip-out-our-heart scene that, like, the two rip-out-our-heart scenes that Pixar
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: ever did is the beginning of Up and then Sarah
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: McLachlan's When Somebody Loved Me from Toy Story 2. And
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: that was, like, a scar that Pixar gave us that
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: never healed. And it's like, why did you do this
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: to us, Pixar? And Five brought it all back and
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: healed that scar. And I thought that was so wonderful.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: It was healed in Up.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: I thought it was so wonderful.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Thanks for the great adventure. Go have a new one.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: It was healed and up. I'm sorry you're wrong.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Craig. I thought it was wonderful that it
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: harkened back to, it gave Jessie closure for this horrible
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: trauma that she had in her life.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: So I was going to say, I've been giving my negatives.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: There are a lot of positives, and that was absolutely one.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: I remember being in the theater going, I might be
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: crying in this movie theater because of this scene. That
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: whole scene with, with Jesse when she realizes, okay, the mom,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: the girl that was her owner is now a mom, names,
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: spoiler alert, names her kid Jesse and has, like, all
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: these treasures of all this time and it's like, you
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: were so impactful to me that I now have my child, like,
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: come on.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Like, but I think, it's not, again, they don't do
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: a bad job with that. It's very well done and
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: it's very, very, like, gratifying, but I think You get
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: that with the Woody and Andy stuff. They should show
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: that there's a cost version of this too. There's some
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: people who don't win in this situation. And I think
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: that was the whole point of the Jesse thing. Jesse's
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: warning was that she continued to be this positive thing
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: even though she didn't get the gratification that Woody got.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: And I thought that was an interesting thing to do.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: And again, she doesn't really get it because obviously it's
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: not literally... jesse telling her to her face but she
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: gets some kind of send-off which is nice it's very
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: good they do a great job with it but it
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: was so much again like the power of it of
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: like someone one of these characters has to lose to
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: raise the stakes for everything else.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: I just sorry that not to interrupt you but there's
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: a caller on the line caller you're on the air
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: um yeah hey uh this is joe slob um where
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: have you been I just want to say, like, where
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: the fuck is RC? Where the fuck is Slinky Dog?
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Slinky Dog's in the movie.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: RC.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: RC.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: So, Joe, what would you give this as a letter
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: grade on the S tier list?
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: I'd give it an F for fuck you.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: All right. Thanks for calling in, Joe. RC.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Where's the spider baby head?
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: So, Ryan, I will say that, like, Part of me...
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Andy was a psychopath because he based his entire existence
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: around Woody and was going to bring Woody to college.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: And it's like, whoa. We've all been there. Turns out
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Jesse's owner was a psychopath because naming your daughter after
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: a toy is really weird. However, I don't care about
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: any of that. And I cried during that scene. I
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: was like, I know this doesn't make sense and it's stupid,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: but I'm still crying.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: It's not an attack on the craft. They do a
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: great job. And this... Again, I have no... I mean,
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: if any... franchise wants to add stuff like we just
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: said toy story has been unimpeachable for over 30 years
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: yes they've not done anything below a b in my
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: opinion oh also i love.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I loved this the main character was the female toy
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: and then it was about jesse and then it wasn't
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: about buzz and woody i loved yeah the buzz love
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: storyline where he proposes to jesse and then They get engaged.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Love the animation, too, of the imaginary scenes.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: The play scenes were great.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Love when Buzz and Woody have that moment where Buzz says,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: I know really the wedding's up to Bonnie, which is
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: such a great truth, but if it were up to me, Woody,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: you'd be.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: My best man.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: That was a fucking great line.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: Good moment.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: And then I thought this tackled tablets really well. I
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: cried multiple times during this movie. I think that Ever
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: since having a child, I cry all the time. And
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: especially anything with little girls being hurt or sad, I
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: cannot do. But when Bonnie gets nasty texts on her
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: tablet in the group chat, and they're like, Bonnie's a
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: loser because she plays with toys, and then Bonnie starts
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: to cry, I started to cry during that scene because
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: I was imagining Cece going through that, and I wanted
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: to blow my brains out.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: I will say that is, they nailed that scene. I
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: thought they did a really good job with that. And
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: I thought it was a really great execution and message.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: A lot of the movie is about how do you
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: find a friend if you're different. And that it's okay
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: to be different. And then when Bonnie comes in and
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: tells her parents, Mom, Dad, can I ask you a question?
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: And the parents are like, sure, honey, what's up? Why
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: does no one want to be my friend? And then
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: you see the parents are just like eviscerated. Like, I
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: don't know what I would do in that scenario. It
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: would be awful. So all of that, like, really affected me.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: I just was emotionally, like, so in on this movie. But, Craig,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: what else do you.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, I don't have too many more that I
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: wanted to bring up, but I think we've got to
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: talk a little bit about Mr. Smarty Pants, voiced by
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: Conan O'Brien, was fantastic.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: When... He was the potty training. Yes.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: He was the potty training one. Amazing.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: The.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Intro to him when his battery is down.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, amazing.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: I was fucking dying. It was, I was like, this
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: is the greatest drunk human, even though he wasn't. It's
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: just that when he was, when he is like, when
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: he's talking to their toy and they're in that little
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: meeting area and like the dog cuss and the guy's like,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: all right. what's the name of the toy? I'm sorry.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Smarty Pants.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Smarty Pants.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: All right, man, just take it easy.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: He's like, no.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: You, and the way his, like, digital eyes slowly looked up. You,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: fake and easy. I was like, man, this is flawless.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: So, I saw my sisters and my nieces, and my
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: sister Bridget, who is such an old, she's just an
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: old lady. She was, like, born an old lady. She's
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: so old-fashioned, and her takes are so dumb. And she said,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: after the movie, yeah, I really kind of didn't like that, because, like, Mr.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Smarty Pants, I just don't, I don't, I'm not a
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: fan of bathroom humor, and it was a little too
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: crude for me, and I just went, like, wrong. I
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: just went, what? That's an awful take. So then I
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: texted her because I was watching and I started streaming
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: it on Disney Plus. And Disney Plus always has like
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: the warnings. So it says, rated PG for rude bathroom humor.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: And I just went like, oh my God. And I
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: sent it to Bridget. Bridget was like, see?
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: But again, the Hoppers thing. When I first watched this,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: I was like, who is Mr. Smarty Pants? I didn't
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: pick up who is Conan O'Brien. And then when they
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: have the imagination scene and he has his hair.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: But again, like, he was trying something different. And then
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: on his podcast, he talks about doing the voice and
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: doing stuff and them encouraging him to do something different,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: to not just be Conan O'Brien.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: I think that that's, uh, I thought it was great.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: And like those, those toys were like the OG tech toys,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: but they're viewed as dinosaurs.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Cause those are what I loved. I was listening to a, uh,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: a movie podcast and they were just like, It's fascinating
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: because those baby steps in technology are like mini DV tapes,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: stuff like that, are just erased from existence.
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Those toys are never going to even be touched again,
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: let alone no one's going to feel bad if they
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: throw them away.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: And that's a great point because if you have a
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Woody doll from 1950, you technically, if you're a kid
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: in 2026, could whip that out and play with it.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's a bad phrase to use in this context, but... Like,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: the tech toys from the 2000s, like, those are never going.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: To be touching. That's the camera you're never touching.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're never touching that camera again.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: They should do, like, a Plague.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: Dogs with those type of toys.
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: That'd be great. Stop!
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: You mentioned Plague Dogs in the Pixar S-tier list, and
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I said, stop talking about Plague Dogs!
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: We did a whole episode about it for a reason.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: I would rather you bring up Grave of the Fireflies
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: on us. No, I wouldn't.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: He's a masterpiece.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: No.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Grave of the Fireflies. Plague Dogs, by the way, also
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: free on YouTube for the world to be saddened by.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: If there's not enough reasons already.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Do you hate dogs? You will love Plague Dogs.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Do you hate yourself? You'll love Plague Dogs.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Do you want to see animals suffer? You'll love Plague Dogs.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Hey, everyone. Just give up. That's the Plague Dogs motto.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Was Watership Down too upbeat for you?
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: I picture it's like, obviously the movie's made in the 80s,
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: but it's now. And the guy's pitching the movie. He
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: just made the new Transformers. He's just so ecstatic.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: So it's these two dogs.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: They go in this David Nest with someone. One of
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: them's already got his head removed. It's all this thing.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: And at the end, they just decide to drown. And
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: it's just like, see you Friday.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: It's CGI animated.
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay, good.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: You're fine. Oh, man. Craig, what else?
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, most of my notes, I got a few more
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: quick ones. I love the pig's name is Jimmy Dean.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: I think that was a great gag. I like the
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: high-tech buzzes and that they can get upgraded. I thought
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: that was a good fun. Yeah, and I mean, overall,
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: the message, right? Like, just be yourself. I like how
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: the two kids, spoiler alert, I guess, but the two kids,
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: Bonnie tries to play with two kids in the neighborhood.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: at the start, and they're like, no, you're weird. And then,
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: at the end, she's got a friend, and the two
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: kids are like, hey, we're playing, come on over. And
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: they're like, yeah, okay. And so, just kind of like,
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: be yourself. Like, great message. I'm kicking it, because I
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: had so much high expectations for it, and I think
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: compared to the other four, I felt like this wasn't
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: at that level, but overall, it's still a very good movie. Like,
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: I do, I did enjoy it. Like, it's not bad.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: I honestly, for me.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: I honestly would go, and we'll go around and do
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: it ourselves. So, Ryan, you can be next. I would
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: go three, four. I'm honestly, I think I'm going to
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: say five, one, two. Three, four, five, one, two.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Ryan, what would you say?
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I'd go three, four, one, two, five.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Again, but time will tell. There's more time.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Can I get a Craig?
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, three, number one, obviously. Three, four. I would
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: probably go one. And then, it depends on the day
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: you ask me. I either go two, five, or five,
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: two to end. But they're right there.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: You know what I thought was, of course, Ryan's going
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: to hate this. I was listening to the Pixar S
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: tier list. And I was listening to myself talk. And
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: I was like, that's a good point. And my point was.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Can we cut the mics, please? This needs to fucking
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: end now. The fact that he's openly saying this like
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: it's not a problem is fucking deranged. I'm sorry.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: So here we go.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: You're doing another shot at Yukon Jack after this.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: But go ahead. Part of the reason why the office
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: lasted so long is even though it wasn't funny, we
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: just wanted to be there with those people. So one,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: I loved being in Andy's house. Even in Sid's house,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: it wasn't pleasant, but being in Sid's house was great.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: It was really cool.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: It was really cool. Three, loved being at the daycare. Four,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: loved being at the park. Loved being at the antique store. Five,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: loved being at.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: Like the ranch area?
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: The ranch. I loved being at the ranch.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Looked amazing.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: That whole sequence was awesome. Two, I don't want to
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: be in Al's office. It's just like a gray box. Yeah.
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: Or his apartment.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what I mean. I meant his apartment.
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: I said his office.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be in Al's apartment. I mean,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: the toy barn was kind of cool. But I just
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: didn't want to be there. And I didn't want to
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: be at the airport. It's just very ugly. It's just
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: a gray... I don't know. I didn't want to be there.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. A question for you guys. What do you guys
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: think of Andrew Stanton being the person who makes this movie?
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Who's Andrew Stanton?
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: So he did WALL-E. He's the writer-director of WALL-E. He
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: did five?
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: He's done a ton of Pixar.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: He's a big writer for Pixar. He's co-directed a few movies.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: But the ones he's directed were WALL-E and this movie.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: I thought this was great.
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: He wrote a lot of the Toy Story. He didn't direct,
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: but he wrote a lot of the other ones, too.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, Wally's better, but, like... I think it's interesting.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: Like, he had really never been, like, a... steering the
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: ship of a Toy Story movie. The other.
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: It said it was co-directed and co-written by McKenna Harris,
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: who does not have as many credits, either. She seemed
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: like someone new. So it felt like, all right, I.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Think she directed the second Puppet Master.
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, that did that?
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Craig. You were so nice to come here today.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: We completely wasted your time.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: You guys are feeding me sea ice, feeding me Yukon Jack.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: What do you expect is going to happen?
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: He referenced himself. I had a great idea. This is
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: the snake eating its tail. It's time to go.
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: So I did quickly ask Chad GPT, you'll appreciate this.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: And then you followed with this horseshit?
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: What would you call a shot mixed of Yukon Jack
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: and sea ice? And I like the Yukon Freeze. It's
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: not bad.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: We'll be doing those in a bit.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Question for you guys.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: What?
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Undoubtedly, they're going to make a six.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Yes. Don't make it about Woody and Buzz.
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: Sorry, not to cut you off, but I've heard Toy
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: Story is one, two, three. It's centralized around Andy. The
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: idea is four, five, six is centralized around Bonnie. And then,
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know, do we go fast style and go
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: up to nine and ten? Uh, Probably. I mean, this
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: movie made over a billion dollars.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Toy Fast! Story Furious!
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: One thing I thought was really interesting is the big
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: picture set is that they do a very good job
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: spacing these movies out. That's one thing this series, one
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: of the many things they do really well. They don't
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: crowd the play too much. And I'm curious how long
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: they wait. to do it the sixth one what do
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: they do with it i'm just very curious again if
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: any creative team can do something at least minimal gray
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: with it it's pixar but i'm just could they ever
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: run out of gas with this entirely.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Oh it's definitely possible it's possible i it's.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: Possible but you can you i mean if they keep
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: spacing them out.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Like to me when i when they first announced this
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: i was like Even after three, I was like, you
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: guys ended this so perfectly. Why are we doing four?
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: And they were like, four because we have a great idea.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: And I saw four and I was like.
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: I get why they did this. It is a good idea, yeah.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: And then five, I was like, really? Are we just
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: doing this because Pixar hasn't been doing well? And when
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: they brought in Andrew Stanton, I was like, do they
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: want to hail Mary now because this guy is so successful?
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Could they ever run out of gas? I want to
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: read this to you. This is in chronological order.
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: Monsters, Inc.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Finding Nemo. The Incredibles. Cars. Ratatouille. Wall-E.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: Up.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: Toy Story 3. The next movie is Cars 2.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Bangers Run.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: So, every good thing comes to an end.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: I would say.
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: What goes up.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Must come down.
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: They had a run and then.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Would that run the John Carpenter first... 12 years
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: and maybe the Rob Reiner first 15 years might be
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: the three greatest runs for anything ever.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Just like bangers every time.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Um, let's talk about the future of Pixar. Last time
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: you had talked about, you said there were four movies
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: coming out. It was Hoppers, Toy Story five, and then
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: there was another original movie and then there was another
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: sequel and I can't remember what it was.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: So I know there's, um, Gato, um, Gato. Is going
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: to be coming up.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: About a kitty cat.
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: Yes. Coco 2, which we talked about.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Coco 2.
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: Incredibles 3.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: Is coming up.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: Those I knew, I just Googled. I guess this is
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: what it says for Google. Ono Ghost Market. An original
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: film inspired by Asian folklore about a supernatural marketplace where
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: the living and dead interact.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Sounds like a Coco ripoff.
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: A little bit. And they also say Monsters 3 is
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: currently in early development.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: I just got a text from Ryan. Do they really
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: need to do a movie about another different culture?
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: Ooh, Ryan. My phone is on my head.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: So, I said in the Pixar S-Tier List podcast that
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't like Coco because the movie should be about Americans.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: And I really loved that. I was like, wow, what
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: an awful take. Like, we just own that forever.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Clearly this podcast does not have an editor at all.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: They've disappeared or died.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: I'm curious. I saw the teaser for Gato when seeing,
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't see a teaser for it.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: There was a little image teaser for it online. I
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: was like, is this them trying to get on the
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: flow parade online? Because Flo was just successfully animated movie.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, Flo was great.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: I still haven't seen it.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: You haven't seen Flo?
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: Not yet, no.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: My goodness gracious, Ryan. Oh, it's great.
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: I heard it's excellent, yeah. But I was just like,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: because the design of it. But then I heard it's
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: like a mob movie inspired movie, which sounds even better.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: What are you showing us?
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: I just pulled up Gato trailer and just the images.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: That's very, I like it. Um, so my boss told me,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: we went to Newport and we were hanging out having
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: dinner and we were talking about like cats. And I said,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: I was talking about how, oh, my people think it's
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: weird that I have cat dad in my LinkedIn profile.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: And my boss said, multiple people, when I was interviewing
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: you and was planning to hire you said, um, whoa,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: like this guy's cat dad in his profile. And I go,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: what the fuck? Like I was so mad. And then
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: so my sister.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: That's like tip of the iceberg though, right?
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: So my sister texted me today an article from the
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: New York Times. And I immediately sent it to my boss.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: But the article was called, I'll pull it up right now.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Where's my, I texted my work phone. It's a great
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: time to be a guy who loves his cat. New
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: York Times article. We're living in the age of the
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: cat dad. who talks about healthy masculinity. So I texted
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: it to my boss, and I said, Cat Dad equals
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: healthy masculinity. And she goes, I didn't care. I hired you.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not the one that cared. Like, don't take this
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: out on me.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: I quit.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: So I quit. Now I'm podcasting full-time, Ryan, so you're
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: going to have to quit your job, too.
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: Nope, nope.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: And you're moving in here.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: You're kind of going to be like a living nanny.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: Nope, nope.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: But you won't get paid.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: Nope, we're good.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: You get paid in two things, shrimps and bananas.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Shrimps.
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: An experience.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: That's true, yeah.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Three things. Thank you, Craig.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: All right, anything else?
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: No. Good? Yeah.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, well.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: Looking forward to six. Also, do you think they drop
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: the numbers? When do they start doing that? They can't.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Like, if they get to Toy Story X for ten,
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: like Fast and Furious.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: Freddy dropped the numbers at five. Michael Myers dropped the
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: numbers at five. Did it? It did, yes. Jason kept
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: the numbers going for quite some time.
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: I think they would go one more and close out
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: Bonnie and then maybe if they go more they would
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: then do Toy Story, semicolon, blah, blah, blah.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: Toy Story 6, 6, 6.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: There's no horror element of this movie, right? Because 4
